How do I assemble Hive View?

Answer

Everything you need to assemble Hive View will be in the box.

• Attach the camera to the arm. This is connected magnetically so attaches easily.

• Optional step (and only if not using on a wall or metal surface): take the metal base plate from

the box and attach it to the bottom of the camera stand, making sure to line up the gap for the

USB cable with the micro USB port in the camera stand. This is connected magnetically. The

magent is very strong so be careful not to get fingers trapped.

• Take the power cable from the box and insert the micro USB into the micro USB port in the

back of the camera stand. Note, do not use the port on the underside camera itself, this is not for

permanenet use. Make sure the port on the base of the camera stand is used.

• Take the power adaptor from the box and select the right set of power adaptor pins for the

region you are in. Clip the pins into the power adaptor.

• Attach the power adaptor to the other end of the cable.

Answer

To install your Hive View or Hive View Outdoor you need to download the main Hive app, not

the Hive Camera app. Hive View and Hive View Outdoor cannot be installed using the Hive

Hive View Outdoor installation hints and tips

Answer

Installing your Hive View Outdoor

We want you to get the most from your Hive View Outdoor. Here are some tips to help you

find the perfect spot to position and install it.

Like all our Hive products, Hive View Outdoor is pretty simple to set up. However, if you

decide you’d like a helping hand, head to hivehome.com/install to arrange professional

installation and check availability in your area.

How to make the most of: Person detection

Hive View Outdoor automatically starts recording if it detects motion or sound. But switch on

people detection and it will only record if it picks up a person. Here’s how to get person

detection working for you:

Height: Make sure your camera is just above head height, between 2-2.7m (or 7-9 feet)

from the ground.

Angle: Your camera needs to be slightly tilted down –around 30° (see image 1 below).

Any more than 40° and your camera might not be able to see a person’s face, especially if

they’re wearing a hat or hoodie.

Range: For person detection, the range of the camera is 12m/40 feet during the day and

4.5m/15 feet at night. If you want to monitor an area further away than 12 metres, the

best thing to do is set your camera to motion detection rather than person detection.

Testing: When your camera is set up, walk past at the maximum range you need. If it

doesn’t detect you, try switching motion detection on the settings screen in the app.

Quick Tip: For porches and entrances use full motion detection.

Person detection is ideal if you want to detect people from other movements. But if your camera

is tilted down and monitoring a small area like your entrance or porch, you might not need it.

Instead, set your camera to motion detection to make sure it captures everything.

Keep your camera in the shade.

Hive View Outdoor is weatherproof and designed to work between -20 to 45C (-4 to 113 F). Just

make sure it’s well ventilated and not positioned in direct sunlight. This avoids overheating, and

your camera being triggered by a sudden change in brightness like the sun going behind a cloud.

How to make the most of: Night vision

Your Hive View Outdoor will switch to night vision automatically when it gets dark, so you can

see what’s happening at any time.

Range: With night vision you get best results if you’re monitoring an area within

4.5m/15ft of the camera.

Exposure: If possible, position your camera away from porch lights, street lights and car

beams, as these can impact the night vision.

Reflections: When you’ve chosen your camera’s position, wait until dark and take a look

at the livestream on you app –make sure there’s no light reflecting from the wall onto the

lens (see images below).

How to make the most of: Wide angle lens

Hive View Outdoor has a 130° field of view, helping you keep an eye on wide areas. Here are

two tips to make sure this wide field of view is maximised:

Position: Because of the nature of wide angle lenses, objects at the edge of the frame

may appear slightly tilted. To reduce the impact of this, check the camera is positioned

horizontally level (it can still be angled down vertically) with the area you would like to

monitor preferably in the centre of the frame. If the area of interest cannot be positioned

in the centre of the frame then please ensure that the camera is adjusted so that objects in

that area are straight and not tilted.

Testing: A great way of making sure that your camera is level is to open the livestream

in your Hive app and checking that objects in the area you would like to monitor are

straight not tilted (see images below).

Quick Tip: If your camera is set to full motion detection, try to avoid your camera facing trees

or anything else that will move with a breeze –as on windy days this may trigger a notification!

Enjoy your Hive View Outdoor

We hope these tips will help you get the most from your Hive View Outdoor camera!

Of course, Hive View Outdoor uses sophisticated video and audio monitoring algorithms to

trigger its detection of people, motion or sounds. These algorithms are very good, but even with

the camera positioned perfectly using the tips above, they aren’t perfect. So we can’t guarantee

they’ll always detect a trigger event, and we can’t promise they’ll never mistake something else

for a person.

How do I fit my Hive View?

Answer

You can attach your camera to a metal surface using the magnet in the bottom of the base or mount it

to another surface using the screws and base plate provided. Or you can place the camera on a table or

shelf. When choosing a location:

• Find a place that has a good view of the area you want to monitor.

• Make sure the camera isn't placed too closely to any objects/surfaces that could reflect the infrared

light as this could affect night vision picture quality.

• Make sure it’s near enough to a power socket and your broadband router to stay connected to Wi-Fi.

• Your camera can detect activity up to 7m (23 ft) away (5m (16 ft) when using nightvision) and has a

130° wide angle field of view.

• Please be respectful in terms of where you place cameras, and consider your neighbours’ privacy.

• For optimum performance, do not choose a position that requires the camera to be tilted off centre by

more than 45° up or down.

To fit your Hive View, follow the below steps. Remember that fitting screws will leave permanent

changes to your wall.

• Check the livestream and Wi-Fi signal in the app before fixing it in place. The Wi-Fi signal can be found

under Settings. This is to ensure you have the desired field of view and Wi-Fi signal strength.

• If the live stream appears upside down, you can rotate the camera’s view 180° in the app under

Settings.

• Take the base plate from the box and use it to mark out where the screws will need to go on the

surface where you are mounting it.

• Drill holes where you have marked and insert the wall plugs (anchors) from the box into the holes.

• Take the screws from the box and screw in the base plate, taking note of which way the recess for the

power cable is facing.

• Attach the camera to the base plate. The magnet in the bottom of the base will secure it in place.

How do I reset my Hive View Outdoor?

Answer

To restart your camera:

- Manually power down the camera by switching it off at the mains, wait 5 seconds, and then

turn it on again.

If that doesn't help, you may need to reset your camera. Note, resetting your camera will remove

the Wi-Fi settings from the camera, you will then need to re-install the camera or use the Change

Wi-Fi option in settings to get the camera up and running again.

To reset your camera:

• Make sure the camera is switched on

• Using a paperclip or similar item - press the pin reset button for 8 seconds or until you see the

ring light on the front of the camera flash yellow twice. (The pin reset button is located on the

underside of the camera)

• The camera will then reset and turn on again.

• When the camera is turns on the ring light will then begin flashing blue - this means its in

Bluetooth pairing mode and ready to be re-installed.

Alternatively, you can reset your camera from the app:

1. Head to your Hive mobile app and log in if required using your Hive username and password

2. Select the camera you wish to reset from the dashboard

3. Select the “Settings” icon, and then select “Reset device”

4. The camera will reset and turn on again.

5. When the camera is turns on the ring light will then begin flashing blue - this means its in

Bluetooth pairing mode and ready to be re-installed.

If you would like to give your camera to a friend or family member to use with their Hive online

account it must first be removed from your Hive online account via settings 'Delete device' in the

Hive app and then by factory restoring it, factory restoring will remove the Wi-Fi network and

all your settings.

The new owner should follow the install guide which they can download here.

If you’re still not up and running, please contact us.
